Thermo-Friendly Concept
Helps CNC Machines Take the Heat

Typically, machining accuracy varies significantly due to ambient temperatures around the CNC machine, heat generated by the machine, and heat generated during machining. Thermo-Friendly Concept automatically compensates for temperature changes, so high accuracy can be achieved without interventions from the CNC machine tool operator. Thus, machine accuracy is increased while decreasing costs, maximizing profitability for manufacturers. more
Open Architecture CNC Controls Optimize Machine Tool Performance

Open Architecture CNC Controls Optimize Machine Tool Performance

Any CNC machine tool can cut metal, but one of the keys to optimizing performance is capturing and analyzing processing data. The CNC control plays a critical role in capturing that data. Okuma’s THINC® (THe Intelligent Numerical Control) is the industry's first open architecture CNC control that grows with emerging CNC machine technology. more
